I saw this deck and realized I had a good amount of it, so I'm going to be testing what I can with this deck and see where it can get me and decide if I like it or not.
Takes advantage of life like jund, is aggressive as infect, and delves like Treasure Cruise era Delver.

The deck runs very similar to infect, but without the infect as the basis. So I assume it's match-ups are similar as well. while being mostly bad against decks that are more based on lifegain other decks that go for that early fetch and thoughseize can be punished for starting at a low life total.

The deck's strength is on it's mana base, although it seems very strange, it is also very streamlined and you can use the tactic to play many varieties of cheaper casting, value cards. The deck can simply just win on turn 2, but is more of an aggro deck and that scenario is not likely. Having exactly 9 life, no more or less seems to be the most optimal to position a win with Death's Shadow, and just general safety with playing around other cards.

My current fear is that the deck will default into running Tasigur, the Golden Fang and/or Tarmogoyf
